INFLATABLE BOATS

VB Series
The VB series of inflatable boats are designed for optimum durability, usability and performance. The high level of attention
to detail during manufacturing results in rugged boats with an absolutely top class finish. By selecting the best materials and
accessories these boats have just that little bit extra.

Based on many years of boating experience, we’ve equipped the boats with many practical features. Take for example the
shape of the tube ends. Together with the triangular trim flaps at the transom, the angled design of the tubes provides extra
planing surface to help get the boat up onto the plane. When going fast, there is an ergonomically placed grab handle just
at the right place inside the boat. Prefer to row around the harbour? Adjust the seat on the continuous bench support to
find the optimum rowing position.
Packed in a sleek overall design, V-Quipment boats offer great benefits at a very attractive price! Get on board and
experience all the benefits whilst enjoying every minute on the water!

Choosing the right boat
The VB series of inflatable boats is available in five boat lengths of 6ft 6in, 7ft 6in, 8ft 10in, 9ft 10in or 10ft 9in (200, 230,
270, 300 or 330 cm) overall. The preferred length depends on your personal application. Do you need a lot of space, or does
the boat need to fit the davits? How many people should be able to enjoy the boat at once? See the technical specifications
on the next page.

In addition, there are two types of deck available. VB Traveller boats have an inflatable deck, whilst VB Explorer boats have
a folding aluminium deck. Both versions are rigid when installed and feature a deep V hull for greater stability at both low
and high speeds. Each has its individual advantages. Please see a detailed overview on the next page.
To provide the optimum freedom in usage, all models are equipped with multiple carrying handles and D rings, for towing,
lifting, and anchoring of the boat.
The fun starts with selecting the right boat. Imagine what adventures you are going to have: Rowing ashore to get to know
new places, exploring the coastline, sunbathing away from the crowd, snorkeling, or even waterskiing?
